Introduction

Rogers and the Person-Centred Approach

“When people are accepted and valued, they tend to develop an attitude of greater attention to themselves. When people are listening empathetically, it becomes possible for them to pay to listen carefully to the flow of inner experience. However, as a person understands herself, the self becomes more congruent with the experience. The person thus becomes more authentic, more genuine. These trends are the equivalent of the attitudes of the therapist, allowing the individual to be effective promoter of its growth. There is greater freedom in being a real person, total.”

Person-Centred Approach Institute (IACP) was founded by Carl Rogers and named after him. The system created by Rogers is not just a theory but is also a vision of human nature. In this sense, it is possible to speak of Rogerian psychology. Carl Rogers, as Freud, Jung and many others, has made its own assumptions about human nature based on observations made during many years of clinical work, followed by the experiential phase of the theoretical and experimental.

Rogers was at the crossroads of two major cultural trends of his time: the American pragmatism and phenomenological-existential tradition of European origin. While both draw inspiration, from his original conception of the individual as a body tending to personal and interpersonal relationships as based on single individuals, on a plan of perfect equality, or profound respect for each other. In this connection, it may be useful to mention some significant components of this vision: “The importance attributed to the individual, perceived as being global, unique and unrepeatable; The central function of consciousness, because quality is not only intellectual, but also rooted in emotional; The concept of experience as an active and continuous process in which the body involved, and in which the projection into the future is more important than it is the record of the past; The belief that the dynamic and interactive nature of the psychic life implies that the behaviour is not biologically determined or socially mechanistic.”

The Counselling or counselling is not an uncommon profession in the sense that is in the term, but while that is as a new way to listen to and operate from interventions that facilitate change, development and deployment of human potential. It is as humanistic philosophy is on existential phenomenology in French and German, Humanistic psychology, and feeds on eastern slopes as the fundamental basis of Zen Counselling or counselling is: we are living beings and, as such, tend to grow and deploy our impression of living, so in existence that we spend.Cognitive TheoryCognitive Development Theory

Piaget identified three principle stages of cognitive development. He termed the first stage the pre-operational stage. Most children between the ages of 2 and 7 functioned at this level of cognitive development. During the pre-operational stage, children perceive actions and events in absolute terms, and do not or cannot understand these actions in relative terms. That is, they cannot understand the situations or perspectives of others. Thus, this stage is often the ego-centric stage, since children perceive others' actions to revolve around ...
